Soaring Solar

The United States is now home to more than 2 million solar installations. After 40 years of work to get to 1 million customers on board, the industry has doubled its growth in just the last 3 years. This impressive growth has reshaped energy conversation in America. It is believed by many that by the 2020’s, solar energy will be the dominate source of power. Early projections and forecasts have solar energy up to 3 million installations by 2021 and 4 million in 2023. In fact, by 2024, there will be on average one solar installation per minute.

What has lead to this sharp and soaring solar growth? The reality is that solar energy has many benefits beyond the obvious reasons. Of course, you can eliminate your electric bill, get paid for energy you place back into the grid, and capitalize on a 30% Federal Tax Credit but do you know about the many other advantages? Using what resources are already available helps us become more efficient and economical. With the growth of solar energy, we’re able to help the economy by creating jobs and building a better planet for future generations by eliminating harmful emissions, deadly toxins, and unhealthy gases.

Solar energy has made tremendous progress in the last few years and it’s all made possible by customers, workers, policymakers, advocates, and innovators. It shows us that clean energy is here to stay. It’s also exciting to see how much more progress we’re going to make! Today, this 2 million solar installation total is the equivalent of producing enough electricity to power more than 12 million American homes. By the year 2024, 2.5% of all homes in America will have a solar installation. Join the revolution and fight back against increasing energy costs today!
